Jaaber is the rare guard who consistently shoots over 50 percent from the floor—last year, he sported a .568 field-goal percentage in league games—for no other reason than no perimeter defender in the Ivies can keep him out of the lane. He can penetrate and get to the basket at will and is, in addition, accurate shooting from long range. According to unconfirmed reports, he can also touch the ground without bending over. He uses that freakish wingspan to lead the league in steals, boasting over three thefts per game a year...
...Bulldogs return four starters from last season’s fourth-place 7-7 squad. Center Domanick Martin is gone, but dynamic junior guard Eric “In” Flato and steady senior forward Sam Kaplan remain. I’ve always believed a talented inside-outside combo is the key to college basketball success and the Eli have it in that duo. Flato, especially, a 44 percent shooter from behind the arc, could turn out to be the second-best player in the league in 2007. Yale coach James Jones (brother Joe is the Columbia skipper) will...
...Crimson (1-0) will also look to snap a five game loosing streak in the series. Harvard’s last win against the Terriers (0-1) came in December of 2000. Last year, in Boston, BU downed the Crimson 72-63. Among returning players, captain guard Jim Goffredo scored 10 points and sophomore guard Drew Housman had 12, along with 5 steals. The defeat in Boston was the first game last season Harvard played without senior center Brian Cusworth, who had injured his hand in the previous game. This year, the Crimson will have...
Edwards isn’t the first to discover a new way to guard against TB—two French scientists developed the so-called BCG vaccine to fight the disease in the early 1920s. But the present-day BCG method is far from ideal. It requires injecting needles into infants—a risky endeavor in areas where clean needles are hard to find, and where reusing old ones can spread HIV. Moreover, the BCG vaccine must be stored at cool temperatures, complicating its distribution to remote areas...
...first game after a disappointing season in which its bench was used sparingly, the Harvard men’s basketball team received two strong performances from reserve players to help carry them past Maine. In his first collegiate game, freshman guard Jeremy Lin played twenty-five minutes, tied for the team lead with six rebounds, and led the team with four steals, while junior forward Brad Unger contributed ten points off the bench, including a key lay up in the final minute of the game. Both had very good plus-minus numbers—that is, the difference...
